Using tax policies as a leading example of foresight, simple theory makes transparent the economic behavior and information structures that generate non-fundamental equilibria. Econometric analyses that fail to model foresight will obtain biased estimates of output multipliers for taxes; biases are quantitatively important when two canonical theoretical models are taken as data generating processes. Both the nature of equilibria and the inferences about the effects of anticipated tax changes hinge critically on hypothesized information flows. Different methods for extracting or hypothesizing the information flows are discussed and shown to be alternative techniques for resolving a non-uniqueness problem endemic to moving average representations. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2012/153 606 $aTaxation 606 $aFiscal policy 606 $aInformation theory in economics 606 $aBonds$2imf 606 $aDiffusion Processes$2imf 606 $aDynamic Quantile Regressions$2imf 606 $aDynamic Treatment Effect Models$2imf 606 $aEconometric analysis$2imf 606 $aEconometrics & economic statistics$2imf 606 $aEconometrics$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aFinancial institutions$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policies and Behavior of Economic Agents: General$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aIncome tax$2imf 606 $aInvestment & securities$2imf 606 $aInvestments: Bonds$2imf 606 $aLabor taxes$2imf 606 $aLaw and legislation$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMunicipal bonds$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income and Other Nonbusiness Taxes and Subsidies$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aTax Law$2imf 606 $aTax law$2imf 606 $aTax policy$2imf 606 $aTaxation & duties law$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aTaxes$2imf 606 $aTime-Series Models$2imf 606 $aVector autoregression$2imf 606 $aWelfare & benefit systems$2imf 607 $aUnited States$2imf 615 0$aTaxation. 615 0$aFiscal policy. 615 0$aInformation theory in economics. 615 7$aBonds 615 7$aDiffusion Processes 615 7$aDynamic Quantile Regressions 615 7$aDynamic Treatment Effect Models 615 7$aEconometric analysis 615 7$aEconometrics & economic statistics 615 7$aEconometrics 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aFinancial institutions 615 7$aFiscal Policies and Behavior of Economic Agents: General 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aIncome tax 615 7$aInvestment & securities 615 7$aInvestments: Bonds 615 7$aLabor taxes 615 7$aLaw and legislation 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMunicipal bonds 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aPersonal Income and Other Nonbusiness Taxes and Subsidies 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aTax Law 615 7$aTax law 615 7$aTax policy 615 7$aTaxation & duties law 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aTaxes 615 7$aTime-Series Models 615 7$aVector autoregression 615 7$aWelfare & benefit systems 676 $a332.1 700 $aWalker$b Todd$01815590 701 $aLeeper$b Eric$01815591 701 $aYang$b Susan$01815592 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953418303321 996 $aFiscal Foresight and Information Flows$94371058 997 $aUNINA
